Getting started questions

I am just about to start my brewing endeavor. I am going to use a single 55 gal.drum for my reaction/wash/dry tank, brewing 40 gal. batches.
Here are my questions.
1. when adding the methoxide can I just pour it from carboy into the heated oil or does it have to be introduced slowly if so approx. how slow?
2. how long do I mix, then let settle before draining the glycerol?
3.I live in the burbs(housing tract) does any one have any suggestions on how to dispose of the glycerol properly?
4. My local Meth. retailer said the people around here are getting 300-340 gals. of bio per 55 gals. of meth. that is only 16-18 % I thought 20+% was needed to get full reaction?

Thanks Kevin
